Hannah Miller tallied SMU's third and final event win of the day with her 1,500-meter finish. Miller finished in 4:28.40 to take her fifth win of the season. The Mustangs outpaced the competition in both sections of the 1,500-meter, with all six SMU runners finishing in the top 11 of the event.
 
Madison Pyle moved up in the program record books, running the 400-meter in 56.04 for the 9^th-best time in school history.
 
In field events, Atipa Mabonga found a season-best mark in the triple jump for the second consecutive week. The freshman took third with a jump of 12.50m. Cassie Ackemann nearly missed the high jump title, finishing second after clearing 1.70m.
